structure initialization

[Jerry <jerry@wicomtechnologies.com>]

A kind of lame offtopic question :)
What reason in 2.6 to do structure init in this way:
 struct a = {
  .name = value
...

instead of 2.4-like:
 struct a = {
  name: value
...

Is this a bad form to use ".name" in 2.4 or "name:" in 2.6?
